ourse\nwith Claudia Hahn 10am – 5pm\nMaximum Participants: 12

\n

What to do when there is n
o paint at hand? Paint with what you have in your kitchen\, such as tea\,
coffee and beetroot!\nThis course is designed to show that expensive
art materials are not necessary to create wonderful art and to be creativ
e in a fun way. You will paint flowers\, animals or landscapes in colours
you can source out of what you would normally drink or eat.\nIt is e
asy to forget that in the not too distant past\, all dyes and paints had t
o be obtained from the natural world\, directly from minerals and plants.
The resulting colours may not be as bright or long lasting as those obtain
ed from chemical sources\, but they have a beauty and wonderful subtlety o
f their own.

Materials List\nAll
materials will be supplied by Claudia Hahn\, at the cost of £3 per
participant\, payable directly to her on the day of the course.<
/p>\n

vation work and feels passionate about wildlife and our environment. Growi

a Smith is an artist who draws with wire\, as others draw with pencil. For
her\, creating sculptures out of wire is like drawing in three dimensions
. Birds are her main inspiration\; capturing their movement and character
is her primary concern. She finds that wire has a spontaneity that can giv
e her sculptures a feeling of life and energy.\nThe majority of Celia’s sc
ulptures are of domestic and native British birds. She aims to capture not
only their shape but also their movement and character.\nwww.celia-smith.

<
strong>Artist’s Profile\nCelia Smith is an artist who draws
with wire\, as others draw with pencil. For her\, creating sculptures out
of wire is like drawing in three dimensions. Birds are her main inspirati
on\; capturing their movement and character is her primary concern. She fi
nds that wire has a spontaneity that can give her sculptures a feeling of
life and energy.\nThe majority of Celia’s sculptures are of domestic
and native British birds. She aims to capture not only their shape but al
so their movement and character.\nwww.celia-smith.co.uk

being a sculpture in its own right but when all are placed side by side\,
a more extensive reef is formed which will be exhibited at Nature in Art
in December.\nI will show a variety of illustrations and pieces of coral a

The aim of this course is for each student to create in cla
y\, a section of coral reef with marine wildlife\, with a view to each pie
ce of work being a sculpture in its own right but when all are placed side
by side\, a more extensive reef is formed which will be exhibited at Natu
re in Art in December.

\n

I will show a variety of illustrations and
pieces of coral and shells and will bring my own ceramic coral reef as an
example of what may be achieved. I will demonstrate how to make a variety
of corals and sea creatures e.g. hermit crabs\, sea cucumber\, starfish\,
turtle etc. with an emphasis on textured surfaces and the techniques of
construction. Students will be encouraged to draw ideas for their own pie
ce of reef before beginning to create it in clay.

\n

At the end of th
e course\, I will take the work home to my studio in York to dry out\, pri
